Q4 60 Sq. Ft. DE Filter System with 1.5Hp Variable Speed Pump

Keep your pool water clean and clear with the high-capacity Black Diamond 60 Sq. Ft. Diatomaceous Earth (D.E.) pool filter system, now paired with the high-efficiency Blue Torrent 1.5 HP Variable Speed (BT-IGV150SP) pool pump. Engineered for larger residential swimming pools up to 57,000 gallons, this high-performance combo provides professional-grade water clarity while significantly lowering your seasonal power consumption.

Diatomaceous earth is a highly efficient filtration material, filtering water down to 2 to 5 microns. This oversized 60 Sq. Ft. system easily traps ultra-fine dust, pollen, and algae that pass straight through traditional sand or cartridge filters, delivering a clear pool with fewer chemical corrections. With a commercial-grade flow rating of 120 GPM, the tank provides a reliable 8-hour turnover capacity of 57,600 gallons.

The included Blue Torrent 1.5 HP variable speed pump (BT-IGV150SP) is engineered to run at lower, energy-saving speeds for daily filtration tasks. Running a pool pump on low speeds relies on the laws of pump affinity—cutting your motor speed in half drops the electrical power draw by up to 80% to 90% compared to standard single-speed pumps. Combined with the low resistance of the Black Diamond filter tank's 2-inch internal plumbing, this system maximizes your cost savings, keeping your water crystal clear while slashing your monthly utility bills.

Constructed from durable, glass-reinforced thermoplastic, the corrosion-proof filter tank halves are secured by a heavy-duty clamp. This allows fast internal access to the grid assembly without disconnecting any hard plumbing. The system comes complete with a high-flow multiport backwash valve, allowing you to easily flush out trapped dirt and reverse-clean the system with a quick turn of the handle.
